Landscaper

Summary

You're going to make a terminal game

Description

1. You are starting a landscaping business, but all you have are your teeth.
2. Using just your teeth, you can spend the day cutting lawns and make $1. You can do this as much as you want.
3. At any point, if you are currently using your teeth, you can buy a pair of rusty scissors for $5. You can do this once, assuming you have enough money.
4. Using the rusty scissors, you can spend the day cutting lawns and make $5. You can do this as much as you want.
5. At any point, if you are currently using rusty scissors, you can buy an old-timey push lawnmower for $25. You can do this once, assuming you have enough money.
6. Using the old-timey push lawnmower, you can spend the day cutting lawns and make $50. You can do this as much as you want.
7. At any point, if you are currently using the old-timey push lawnmower, you can buy a fancy battery-powered lawnmower for $250. You can do this once, assuming you have enough money.
8. Using the the fancy battery-powered lawnmower, you can spend the day cutting lawns and make $100. You can do this as much as you want.
9. At any point, if you are currently using the fancy battery-powered lawnmower, you can hire a team of starving students for $500. You can do this once, assuming you have enough money.
10. Using the the team of starving students, you can spend the day cutting lawns and make $250. You can do this as much as you want.
11. You win the game when you have a team of starving students and $1000. In this situation, send a message to the user telling them, they've won.

Hungry for More?

1. Add the ability to reset the game at any point so that you can play again
2. Make it so that a user can have multiple tools, and money earned each day is increased appropriately (e.g. 2 scissors, and an old-timey push lawnmower means you earn $60/day )
3. Once you've implemented multiple tools, make it so you can sell tools for half price
